we here express, at the risk Of appearing to
give further evidence of our conceit. We claim
to be competent, educated, skillful and practical
physicians. We devote our requirements in this
line to watching over and caring for the welfare
of our patients, SO long as they remain under
treatment In this work, which has long since
increased beyond the ability of two men to meet,
we have the assistance Of four other active
medical graduates.
With all these advantages, and we earnestly
believe them to be superior to those possessed
by any other similar institution in the world,
we are not ashamed to acknowledge ourselves
as candidates for the confidence and patronage
ofthose who are earnestly seeking for lost health
"But, do you cure everybody2" Happily, no!
The age of miracles is past We refuse to treat
many who apply to us, because disease has
made them completely its own. There are many
others whose condition is such that only trial
can determine upon which side of the fatal line
any given case may be. 1t is painful and
damaging experience to secure a trial Of a
remedial agent, by holding out hopes that will
be falsifed. But knowing what has been
accomplished in many seemingly desperate
cases, we prefer, at times, to risk our reputation
as prognostcators, and the Censure ofthe friends,
There are other circumstances over which we
have no control, which cause failures. The
statement of cases in writing, by the patients, or
their friends, is liable to decided imperfections
Again, human nature presents very diverse
phases 1t is no less eccentric when it manifests
itself through body tortured and warped by
disease. Is it not easy to see the difficulty OF
securing the conditions necessary to successful
issue of the Treatment in any given case, espe-
cially with patients whom we never see7
We have now said our modest q say" about
Compound Oxygen. Some writer, in the near
future will make this appear like puny triviaties
in the light of Developments which are now tran
spring in the line of this phenomenal ENTERPRISE.
No one who keeps up with the current litera-
ture can fail to be struck with the evidences
of mental activity in these developments. A
healing agent which cures almost all the ills
that flesh is heir to, by restoring the whole
nervous system, centres, trunks and branches,
from foundation to keystone, and through
these channels the whole body to a state oi
eminent integrity is indeed marvel Such a
healing agent can but modify, if it do not revo-
lutionize the healing art in every department.
Now we have said the least that can be
truthfully said Of the Compound Oxygen. "His
will be goodword viii say the lawful best
In the above it may be thought that we have
made many statements without verifcation.
We are ready to be put TO the test Of proving
them all. But the proof Of them is of less inter
est to those in search of lost health than the
proof that others, like themselves, have been
successful OF course for want Of space we can
give you very few, but they are taken from hun
dreds of others equally worthy Of publication.
